Tentmakers are professionals, skilled artisans, perennial students and others who use
their professional, vocational or academic skills to support themselves while they share
the Gospel of Jesus in parts of the world and to groups of people otherwise inaccessible
to traditional mission approaches. The term "tentmakers" is taken from
the Apostle Paul, who supported his own mission activity by making tents (Acts 18:1-4).

The Seventh-day Adventist Church is launching out to the final frontier of World
Mission, and is opening the door to large numbers of church members to become personally
involved in this bold new approach.

Conservative estimates suggest that 90% of our mission work is maintenance missions,
support for and cooperation with existing programs and structures. While this type of
mission outreach is still very important, it leaves untouched most of the unreached people
in this world, namely, those living within the 10/40 window.
